Troupe-a-Palooza
A massive showcase of improv madness! These teams are going to keep you laughing all night long with their outrageous characters and comedic twists. Like a music festival for improv, but without the flower crowns (and the music).

Meet the troupes
Duel
Montreal, QC
Born from improv duos who couldn’t stay exclusive, we’re a many-partnered long-form improv ensemble mixing intimacy with chaos.
BBL Babies
Toronto, ON
BBL Babies (John, Laurence, Chris and Phil) are a longform improv troupe from Toronto that thrives on chaos, commitment, and big swings. Since 2024, they’ve been making a name in Toronto’s comedy scene with shows that blend classic formats (Harold, Armando) with their own brand of chaotic energy and genre bending comedy. There is never an offer that gets rejected, the Babies are here to play hard and get weird! Find them on all Socials @bblbabiescomedy
Gwyneth
Montreal, QC
Gwyneth is an uproarious duo with a long history of cocktails and e-mails. Younger men love them; all other audiences are ambivalent. They weave tight narratives with clumsy antics that’ll leave you gooped, gagged, and g’awestruck (we couldn’t think of a third G).
Potty Time
Saint Petersburg, FL
Daniel Dagesse is a 7-year improviser who has previously performed at festivals across Florida. Le Grand Yes And! marks his first international festival, where he’s thrilled to debut his solo show Potty Time. Follow his improv adventures on Instagram: @danielscottdagesse
Chesterfield
Montreal, QC
Formed as a Montreal Improv house team, Chesterfield performs monthly to some of the largest audiences at the theatre. Coached by improv veteran Dale Bernier, Chesterfield’s chemistry can be seen on and off the stage. The troupe performs the Living Room format, a variant of Armando which is based on a conversation rather than a monologue. Prepare yourself for pure parasocial bliss as you watch them chat, then sit back and enjoy as they pull satisfying premises from their friendly banter.
We are Bradshaw
Montreal, QC
We Are Bradshaw came together through a shared love for the Monoscene improv format. For over a year and a half, they’ve been performing on the Montreal Improv stage—crafting ridiculously hilarious stories, twisted family dramas, and wildly complicated romantic entanglements.
If you enjoy the chaotic brilliance of Arrested Development, you’ll feel right at home with We Are Bradshaw. Their shows are unpredictable, character-driven, and full of the kind of comedic moments that feel both totally absurd and strangely familiar. It’s improv with a twist—and a troupe you’ll want to keep your eye on.
